i am making this post for the benefit of all writers, artists and commenters alike. do not leave unsolicited criticism on fanworks. first of all, this is not a classroom. you do not need to leave both "critique" and "praise" for a valuable assessment to get a good grade in commenting. what you need to do is not be an asshole and realize that people are creating fanworks for a variety of reasons - personal enjoyment, validation, for a small group of friends, for a fandom boom, whatever - and these reasons usually do not include "wanting a random internet stranger to tell me what's fucking wrong with it."

at best, you will be talking to a wall (like me, and probably most authors/artists who have been doing this for years and years and do not give a shit if you don't like it, meaning it won't affect our creative process or what we choose to create) and at worst, you will utterly destroy somebody's motivation, creativity, and sense of enjoyment in what they love. which makes you a gigantic bitch.

people improve on their own time in their own ways, because that is the result of repetition (usually). they experiment and they learn and there are very few safe places left to do that. if you don't like what you're reading, leave. if you hate the voices and the characters and the dialogue, leave. if you hate the prose, leave. it's not for you and you saying how much you don't like something is not going to help newer writers and artists do it better. it's probably going to make them want to quit, which benefits NOBODY.

fandom is a community and we are sharing these works for FREE with each other because we all love this thing, regardless of what way we love it. it takes A LOT OF TIME to create, and in seconds, with your stupid asshole-ish comment, you have tainted someone's love of this thing and the effort they put into creating it. who cares if it's ooc. who cares if they use too many epithets. nobody is amazing immediately. it is your job as someone engaged in fandom to let people find their way and do what makes them happy even if you don't like it. internalize this and move on.
